#Episode 79. Hunter Hunt
A source of drinking water for all.
There lay the frozen corpses of abandoned workers.
They were all people who had been supplying water to the forces and had suffered losses.
However, the supply of drinking water could not be stopped.
The work of fetching water had to be done regardless of the time.
As the night deepened again, the people of Man-gyeong began to move.
But this time it wasn’t a worker.
They were the elite of Zion.
“… … .”
“… … .”
The sounds of crickets and campfires could be heard little by little.
The riverbank was strewn with arrows that the men had shot, and small monsters were moving among the growing grass.
And then again people began to move among the blades of grass.
Not a single person uttered a word.
Zion’s elite troops, lowering their stance, began to slowly cross the river.
The target is human hunters.
It was the rooftop of a building about 200 meters away from the riverside.
Even now, the friendly forces’ oil bottles were still flying towards Dong-an in the sky, and below them, Kang Shi-on’s elite force was secretly approaching.
100 elite soldiers.
These were the units that performed outstandingly when Zion took over the police force.
A group of murderers who learned and practiced their killing skills from Choi Myung-jun, hiding in secret and striking the back of the enemy’s head.
Their preparation was thorough.
The blades of all swords were painted black to prevent them from glinting in moonlight or torchlight.
They were ‘hunters’ in the true sense of the word.
* * *
During the Man-gyeong and Dong-an periods, there was no full-scale war between the two forces, but in reality, a subtle political war using other forces began.
The two sides had been in a sharp conflict over the natural water resource called Anyangcheon, and now their swords were at odds.
The two human hunters, looking out over Anyangcheon, stood guard in silence.
These were the two people who had been cruelly shooting the workers of Man-gyeong to death with arrows.
Then the man spoke to the woman first.
“Senior, what I said before is… … .”
“Okay. I’ve forgotten now. So stop talking.”
“……yes.”
The world changed drastically after the destruction began.
The existing order collapsed and the meaning of life changed.
The human hunter men knew that what they were doing was wrong.
However, they had no choice but to carry out the order because if they did not do this, they would surely face death.
Before the destruction, the man was a college student.
24 years old.
He must be around 26 years old now.
As the woman continued to remain silent, the man looked ahead and quietly opened his mouth.
“I just wanted to share my feelings with you. So… … that’s what happened… … My entire family died. My parents, my younger sibling… … But I just simply.”
The man still leaned against the windowsill, looking out at the dark city.
Then he grabbed his head and shouted a little.
“Ah-! I don’t know. It’s just. I’ve never really done this before? But… … Whenever I see my senior… … .”
The man clenched his fist until it was bloodshot.
He then looked at the woman and spoke a little louder.
“But I really meant it. I really… … !”
But the man who looked at the woman could not continue speaking.
“ah.”
Gulp, gulp.
There was a woman with a knife in her throat, her mouth gagged by someone, and she was spitting out blood.
“……senior?”
The man’s pupils began to shake erratically.
And then naturally, she turned her eyes towards the long-haired man standing behind the woman.
The long-haired man chuckled, still holding the knife in his hand.
“Wow… so romantic.”
A voice as sly as a wicked snake.
He was Choi Myeong-jun.
Choi Myeong-jun began to twist the knife stuck in the woman’s neck even further.
Up, down, up, down.
Every time Choi Myung-jun twisted his sword, her blood spurted everywhere.
Meanwhile, he was covering the woman’s mouth with his large hand to prevent her from screaming.
The human hunter man shuddered.
Then he hesitated and took a step back.

“Have you been making erotic movies here while brutally killing people all this time?”
Choi Myeong-jun chuckled and finally pulled the knife out of the woman’s neck.
Phew- Whew! Thud!
The woman fell to the floor, bleeding and wincing.
Apocalypse.
Choi Myeong-jun put the knife in his mouth and began to fold his sleeves.
His hands were full of blood.
In front of Choi Myung-jun, the human hunter man trembled and leaned against the opposite wall.
There was nowhere to run here.
In the first place, they were warriors under the orders of ‘Park Ji-soo’, but their affiliation was not that of warriors.
Because in order to disturb Manan, you must not harass the members of the group during that time.
Choi Myeong-jun folded his sleeves, held the knife in his hand, and slowly approached the man.
“Please save me… … .”
“Please save me?”
“Please… … We have no choice… … !”
“No choice?”
“… … Don’t do this. Please!!!”
“Don’t do this?”
Thud-!
Choi Myeong-jun grabbed the man’s hair and lifted him up.
Then she looked into his eyes and said.
Choi Myeong-jun’s face was still full of smiles.
“Why can’t it be like this?”
“……eww……!”
“You guys did it too. Why can’t I?”
“Ugh… … !!!”
“Why… … If you guys are having so much fun, can’t I have some fun too?”
Bam.
At that moment, Choi Myeong-jun rested his forehead on the man’s shoulder.
And whispered.
“How was it? Was it exhilarating? Did you stand up straight? Killing people. Ah-. I don’t know about anything else, but I think killing feels the most killing. Think about it. The person I’m killing… … was born like me, and thinks, eats, sleeps, poops, and lives like that… … When I think about it. Isn’t there something so fu*king exhilarating? Killing one person is like destroying a world. I think destruction is the greatest pleasure for humans. That’s it. That… … That… … The way they writhe before they die. The way they beg to be spared. Even the helpless corpses that lie stretched out. Were you like that too? Did you enjoy it too? Do you want to enjoy it together?”
Tangrang-.
Choi Myeong-jun took a sashimi knife out of his bosom and put it in the man’s hand.
Then I took a few steps back from him.
Choi Myung-jun was holding a knife, and the human hunter man was holding a sashimi knife.
The difference between the two weapons was clear.
Choi Myeong-jun said with a sly smile.
“Try harder. It makes hunting more enjoyable.”
“Euuuuu… …! Euuuuu!!! Euaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!!!!!!”
A man holding a sashimi knife rushed at Choi Myeong-jun.
Choi Myeong-jun laughed as he watched the man running towards him to kill him.
“Oh, yeah. That’s it.”
Phew-!
“Euuuu… … Euryaaaaaaaaa!!!”
“AAAAAHHHH!!!!”
While Choi Myeong-jun was hunting, the elite unit was shooting randomly all over the building.
The human hunters of the time were no match for the elite force.
The elite group is a group that has forgotten the guilt of murder.
A group that believes that the murder by Choi Myung-jun was justified.
There was nothing that could stop a predator that had nothing to fear.
Especially, fighting inside such a narrow building was the best environment for the elite unit.
Because we already have a record of winning fights against police with greater fighting power than this.
The human hunters fell one after another, covered in blood.
This place was originally a commercial complex.
Karaoke rooms, elevators, escalators, glass doors, inside stores, restaurants, and even bathrooms.
This place, stained with the blood of human hunters, was truly a stage for slaughter.
There was no way to escape the building thanks to the elite force surrounding it.
Some people fell into despair and even tried to hide by burying their heads in the toilet.
I knew that hiding wouldn’t work, but I still wanted to hide in a hole.
Thud, thud.
Choi Myung-jun walked down the hallway, holding the human hunter man by the neck.
“You guys! We have to catch at least one of them alive? Cut off all their heads and bring them up to the first floor!”
“Yes-!!! Brother!”
As Choi Myeong-jun shouted, the elite unit that was committing murders here and there in the hallway shouted.
Choi Myeong-jun, who had come down to the first floor, threw the man’s head between the layers of necks.
And then he approached the woman who was trembling in the middle.
Nearby, a female member of the elite unit stood clutching the hair of the hunter woman.
“Is this the kid you’re sending?”
Choi Myeong-jun naturally took a cigarette in his mouth and asked his subordinate in the elite unit.
The subordinate nodded.
“Yes, that seems appropriate.”
“Phew-.”
The cigarette smoke exhaled by Choi Myeong-jun hit the female hunter.
“Huh… … Heuh… … Heuh… … .”
Choi Myeong-jun just smoked a cigarette for a while and listened to the woman’s sobs.
Then he squatted down and met the woman’s gaze.
There was an order from Kang Shi-on to let at least one person here live.
The order was to kill all the rest and let only one person live.
Choi Myeong-jun heard Zion’s command.
But I didn’t understand it to mean let just one person live.
Choi Myeong-jun said while smoking a cigarette.
“send.”
And then I looked back.
The men were coming down to the first floor one by one, carrying necks in sacks.
This completes the subjugation of the human hunters.
The drinking water problem that had been a constant scourge of Zion was solved in an instant.
“All done, let’s go.”
Choi Myeong-jun completed his mission and left the building.
Inside the building they had escaped from, there were now headless corpses strewn about.
* * *
After the bombardment began, the third morning sun rose.
Now, the response will start coming in slowly.
The fire that burned all night did not go out easily.
I spent the whole night surveying the battlefield and receiving reports from each commander.
The catapult was perfect, and Choi Myeong-jun’s elite force effectively subdued the human hunters.
The primary plan was successfully completed.
This would mean that the war would have to end quickly.
Because during that time, Park Ji-soo wouldn’t be stupid enough to split the front in two.
It’s foolish to divide the front in two.
Both Germany and Japan were defeated in the same way.
There is no way that Park Ji-soo wouldn’t know that fact, which can be easily learned through school history classes.
There was only one thing I wanted.
All it takes is bringing Park Ji-soo to the negotiating table.
Anything could go forward only if she was more interested in Manan than in Uiwang.
Whether it’s war or cooperation.
In any case, this incident appeared to the outside world as a war between a third power in Manan, but in reality, it was playing out within my grasp.
There is no way that Park Ji-soo wouldn’t know that fact.
Because she, like me, was a monarch who quickly understood the system.
I contacted Madame Bisan to set up a negotiation table with her, and was successful.
Madame made a deal to arrange a meeting with Park Ji-soo and to never sell Man-an’s information to Dong-an again.
The plan caused a chain reaction like dominoes.
My small plan, which had been a small domino, was now about to topple the head of a huge power.
There isn’t much time left now.
The day I hold Anyang City in my hands.
And today marks the beginning of that day.
But something unexpected happened.
“Your Majesty-!!!”
A messenger came in urgently, opening the rooftop door.
He ran over and knelt before me, panting for breath.
“… … What’s going on?”
“Ugh… … Ugh… … !”
The messenger was breathing heavily.
I opened the lid of the tumbler next to me and gave it to the messenger.
The messenger accepted it with both hands.
“Ah, thank you… … Gasp… … Gasp… … !”
The messenger’s whole body was covered in sweat.
It seemed like something urgent was going on.
The messenger gulped down the water and spoke carefully.
“Right now, at Man-gyeong’s… … main gate… … main gate… …!”
I frowned at the messenger’s words.
It was an unexpected event, but it actually turned out to be a good thing.
“Call the managers together. Now.”
I smiled faintly.
